Threshold Dynamics and Competitive Exclusion in a Virus Infection Model with General Incidence Function and Density-Dependent Diffusion by Xiaosong Tang, Zhiwei Wang, Jianping Yang

“…In this paper, we investigate single-strain and multistrain viral infection models with general incidence function and density-dependent diffusion subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. For the single-strain viral infection model, by using the linearization method and constructing appropriate Lyapunov functionals, we obtain that the global threshold dynamics of the model is determined by the reproductive numbers for viral infection ℛ0. …”

Theoretical studies of multi-electrode sensor of components of electric field intensity vector in form of square plate of conductive material by S. V. Biryukov, A. V. Tyukin

“…The research results allowed to create such a sensor evaluate its metrological characteristics and establish their dependence on the degree of homogeneity of the electric field. The established interrelation between the sensor error and the degree of heterogeneity of the electric field allows determining the spatial measurement range by a given error or by setting a sensor for a given spatial measurement range. …”

Biodegradable Films Based on Gelatin and Montmorillonite Produced by Spreading by Manuel Fernando Coronado Jorge, Elisabete M. C. Alexandre, Christian Humberto Caicedo Flaker, Ana Mônica Quinta Barbosa Bittante, Paulo José do Amaral Sobral

“…The increase in MMT concentration slightly changed the X-ray diffraction spectra indicating some loss of crystallinity and reinforced films presented less homogeneous structures. The montmorillonite concentration had not a clear effect on the thermal properties and FTIR spectra of nanocomposites were very similar to separated compounds.…”

Exploring Near- and Far-Field Effects in Photoplethysmography Signals Across Different Source–Detector Distances by Ángel Solé Morillo, Joan Lambert Cause, Kevin De Pauw, Bruno da Silva, Johan Stiens

“…Results show a great DC variability at 6 mm, homogenizing at 9 and 12 mm. This suggests that PPG systems are also sensitive to the near- and far-field effects commonly reported and studied in optics, which can impact the accuracy of physiological parameters dependent on the DC component, such as oxygen saturation (SpO₂).…”
